Maternal care for fetal problem, unsp, first tri, fetus 3

This code signifies ongoing medical supervision and management provided to a pregnant patient during her first trimester due to an identified fetal issue, the specific nature of which is not documented. It indicates that the care is focused on the third fetus in a multiple gestation pregnancy.

Use this code when the medical record clearly indicates maternal care for a fetal problem in the first trimester, but the specific fetal condition is not yet diagnosed or documented. This applies to the third fetus in a triplet or higher-order multiple pregnancy. Documentation should support the trimester and the identification of a fetal concern requiring maternal monitoring.

• Ensure documentation specifies "first trimester" and identifies the care as being for the "third fetus."
• Do not use this code if a specific fetal condition is known and documented; instead, code the specific fetal condition.
• This code requires an additional character for the encounter (A, D, or S) to indicate initial, subsequent, or sequela encounter.
